A method is similar to a function, but is internal to part of a class. The term method is used almost exclusively in object-oriented programming. But technically speaking, there is no difference

Methods are functions members of a class. Method is a concept of OOP. In Java, a method is implemented as a function defined within a class. BTW, functions with no return values, are called procedures (method or not).

That's same thing, mathematicians call it functions and programmers call it methods.

method is just a way (as per english also)...the implementation of that way is called function....

I think methods don't need parameters and don't need to return a result (void), so... do functions do the same?
